Terrace Heating Systems

Highly efficient burners for terrace infrared heaters

Infrared heaters can be used not only for heating industrial buildings, but also as terrace heating systems for outdoor areas. This can be very lucrative, especially for the catering trade – because infrared heat for the outdoor areas of restaurants and cafés ensures that guests stay longer on cool autumn and winter days, thus increasing consumption. Schwank’s highly efficient, atmospheric burners are suitable for outdoor patio heaters.

The infrared principle, which is based on the principle of the sun, creates an immediately noticeable and comfortable warmth on the skin. The infrared heat emitted by the ceramic tiles in the burners ensures an even temperature distribution even over large areas. The specially developed combustion method of Schwank burners makes the heaters highly efficient: energy savings of up to 62% are achieved compared to conventional patio heaters.

Applications of terrace heating systems

High efficient burners with ceramic tiles by Schwank for infrared patio heaters

The ceramic tiles and burners are used:

  • in terrace heating systems, which heat the outdoor areas of restaurants and cafes.
  • as an alternative to conventional gas patio heaters at events or at sales or snack stands.

The atmospheric burners from Schwank are suitable for patio heaters

Different sized burners with different capacities for all applications

Atmospheric Burner 8/16

A space-saving burner with extremely high efficiency

The smallest Schwank atmospheric burner has 2 ceramic tiles and is 23 cm long. Due to the Venturi principle, in which the combustion air enters the burner through the incoming gas without an additional fan, the burner achieves an output of between 3 and 3.5 kW.

Atmospheric Burner 16/2

For small patio heaters

By using 4 ceramic tiles and a length of 40 cm, the 16/2 burner heats surfaces with an output of 6.5 kW. It is particularly suitable if there is only a little space available for patio heating.

Atmospheric Burner 24/2

A powerful burner for comfortable warmth on outdoor areas

Schwank’s 24/2 burner has 6 ceramic tiles on the surface of which the gas is evenly burned, thus ensuring enormous surface temperatures. This atmospheric burner is 58 cm long and with 9,8 kW very powerful and highly efficient.

Atmospheric Burner 32/1

Power for the heating of large areas

With a proud 16 kW, the 32/1 burner is Schwank’s most powerful. This power is generated by the 8 ceramic tiles in the natural draught burner. With its 77 cm length, it is suitable for larger patio heaters, which can still be mounted on the wall or ceiling to save space. With these kinds of infrared heaters large external areas can be heated extremely efficiently.
